I've been running it on a machine I built in 2011, and it seems to work quite well. It started out as whatever Ubuntu was available in August of 2011, then 12.04, then 14.04.
I have 3 3x 3TB Hitachi Deskstars in a raids, with a crucial M4-CT128M4 as a combined rootfs and l2arc
(the ssd was an upgrade from an older ssd when I moved from 12.04 to 14.04).
The machine has a Xeon e3-1270 CPU, and 16GB of ECC RAM.
I used it as a workstation (now my wife does), and it has been as a home media / tv server / NAS for its entire lifetime. 0 problems so far (knock on wood), and it has made a move from the east coast to California, and then back to the east coast again.
- e40 10y agoWhat chassis are you using? And do you like it? I'm in the market. Thanks.
- drewg123 10y agoI like the chassis, but the build was ~5 years ago, and when I built a new machine ~1 year ago, it was not available. My current machine uses a Fractal Design Define R5 Black Silent ATX Midtower case. That one is quite nice. The one gotcha that I had is that it is a bit wider than I was used to, which means that it just barely fits in the computer holder accessory for my ikea desk.
